Instructions

Combine warm water and honey in a bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
In another bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour and mixed seeds.
Pour yeast mixture into dry ingredients and stir until dough forms.
Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Shape dough into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown and firm. Bread is done when the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Swap in chia seeds or sesame seeds for variety.

Sprinkle rolled oats on top before baking for a rustic look.

Add dried cranberries or raisins for sweetness.

Mix in bread flour for extra protein and a lighter texture.

Brush baked loaf with olive oil for a softer crust.

Can also be shaped into rolls and baked for 20 minutes.
